Understanding decoherence in mechanical resonators in the quantum regime is crucial for realizing their potential in hybrid quantum devices. Cleland et al. study dissipation and dephasing induced by tunnelling defects in a nanomechanical resonator coupled to a transmon qubit, which serves as a quantum sensor.
